And here are also the new bosses that drop the materials for the above items. Their stats seem identical to those we already know, so I guess they will have some other tricks up their sleeve (AoE's and debuffs and such).

The items in their drop tables are all materials or molds. Just putting that out there since their thumbnails might give the impression that they are equipment.

The other Lunar Glade bosses don't seem to have an Elite version (not one that's listed on the Chinese PWDB at least).

Killing any of these bosses also rewards you with a ''Basic Badge'' through a quest. Of these you need (among other materials):
30 for a 3rd cast nirvana armor part (including cloak and helm)
60 for a 3rd cast Nirvana weapon
30 for a 3rd cast R9 armor part (including belt)
60 for a 3rd cast R9 weapon
20 for rerolling the stats on a 3rd cast Nirvana weapon
20 for honing the stats on a 3rd cast R9 weapon
8 for honing the stats on a 3rd cast Nirvana armor part
8 for honing the stats on a 3rd cast R9 armor part

Indeed, defense cannot keep up with the already insane attack of a plain R8 or even nirvana, not to mention these annihilator weapons.

R9 defense more than keeps up with R9 attack. R9 barbs are pretty much impossible to kill for pretty much any class. Some R9 vs R9 battles can easily last 20 to 30 minutes before people just give up and call it a draw. Sins would know this if they weren't all wearing TT99 gear with DoTs...

Yeah would know if we can actually try our hands on r9`s awesome defense levels, I don`t use fail dots but plain citrines in my gear, and survivability is enough for pve but pvp is a different story, the bottom line is, average people without uber refines and defense will die rather easily against unrefined r8, not to mention anything higher, + you can throw in Jone`s blessing which every1 already has. I know you have no problem surviving with full r9 +12 and JosD`s

Even nirvana barbs, venoes, seekers, psychics and mystics are pretty much impossible to kill in PVP, as far as I know. Barbs are the third most OP class following mystics and venoes if they put in full JOSD. Whoever said armor defense can't scale with attacks are dumb and are pretty much nub damage dealers freaks.

I, II and III spark is the most cheesiest skill in PWI and it should be removed or massively nerfed.

A rank 9+12 barb with 40k HP is pretty much the most OP class in the game. If you've got less than 20k HP, expect to get one shot by an armageddon crit. Even more so if the armageddon is demon.

So what are the chances the aesthetics of the 3rd recast set not looking like existing sets from 2009 D: Seriously, TT 90 aesthetics for the HA set? I won't mind if it had retained the aesthetics of Moria G 12, 13, 15 gear.
